Now that the dust has settled, who did it better?

Left is the kind of image that actually shows up in nightmares.
Right is just LONG POINTY TEEF DURRR

The one that doesn't make me laugh

Curry the better clown, The movie is the better of the two though.

>>87569599
Right one looks too Hollywoodian

Right is funnier.
Right is also scarier
Right also got the character accurately
Right also could move around without a wheelchair

>>87569599
Right is trying too hard to be scary and looks like a photoshop anyone could knock up in a couple of minutes

Left is fucking hideous and makes me think of alcoholic crack head teeth so is scary even before you acknowledge that its an evil clown.

>>87569711
Dubs on dubs

Curry all the way. The movie version of Pennywise was just this force of nature that would appear and wreak havoc for a period of time. You didn't really feel his effects once he was off the screen. Curry was very personal with his dialog and due to the budget constraints of the original he needed his personality to be what instilled fear in the heroes as well as the audience.

>>87569599
The Jew in its true form

>>87569599
Curry, his wasn't as scary but I still liked it more. Curry was the wholesome penny wise.

>>87569599
Tim Curry, he's literally the only reason to watch that movie.

>>87569599
Right is objectively better. Fits how Pennywise is described also
Anyone who thinks Curry was better is basing it off of pure nostalgia. Watched the old one before seeing the new one, and Curry was really hamming it up. He wasn't intimidating at all, just laughable

the scene that right is from is pretty scary though

Tim Curry was more goofier and more Clownish. Scarsgard was scarier and more visually interesting, his scares were more about the psychology of the victim and less DUDE BALLOONS FILLED WITH BLOOD LMAO. I liked Curry's colorful costume better though. They're equally fantastic performances.

Right
Left is for nostalgia loving redditors

>>87571410
Getting old and getting a stroke is two vastly different things.

>>87569599

Tim Curry is scarier. Thats just because the new movie has too many jump scares that have no effect on me. I would have liked more scenes where Pennywise chewed scenery in the new one.

This. Skarsgard could also act physically too. Curry was in his 40s by that time and couldn't do much.

Kinda wish the projector scene wasn't spoiled in the trailers. Would've been the best spook in the movie if I didn't know it was coming.

>>87571662
I absolutely hated whenever it stabilized on his face

>>87571662

dissapointed he didnt do a shuck and jive or the peppermint twist

>>87571740
I never watched the trailers and it got me good watching in probably the loudest IMAX showing I've ever attended.

New Pennywise is better. Old Pennywise was a joke.

>>87571708
curry's presence was scary enough. he didn't need to get physical.

Which Pennywise would you get a blowjob from?

>>87571740
I saw the trailer part, but when he pops out as a fucking giant I spilled my popcorn
>>87571848
Curry was not scary at all. Maybe if you were a child when you watched it

>>87571750
Well, for me that was the best part of him. I don't know, for me it was really creepy.

You retards tricked me into seeing this, and it was shit. It is literally capeshit with jumpscares, the CG is awful, there's nothing scary in the entire movie. The only thing that could pass for frightening is how bad it is, and how much they depend on very loud noises to make the audience think they're scared. This is no different from any other shitty modern horror movie.

>>87571740
the fucking trailers.


They took the best scenes in the movie and put every single on in the trailer.

WHY

these scenes were amazing but so much less effective given I have already seen them.

I heard he also had to learn how to be a contortionist for that scene in the freezer, and he did an exceptional job putting himself inside it. What an actor.

>>87571171
yeah, it's sad

he's still a funny fucker though, watch that Q&A he did at some convention on youtube

>>87571662

>>87571740
The projector scene from the trailer dulled my expectations and made me think it was over before it actually was. That aftermath with Pennywise crawling out of the screen caught me off guard and terrified me a bit. It was a nicely built up jump-scare.

>>87571750
but this sells him all the more as a mere puppet, with the head being held up in its place, while the body just dangles around as a prop

>>87572621
it also didnt look scary

>>87572621
>with the head being held up in its place, while the body just dangles around as a prop
That would have been cool if they actually did that, but they didn't.

>>87572021
An extremely loud noise, probably the loudest noise in the film, suddenly blaring through the speakers in a tense scene is not "scary", it's startling. You fucking plebian shit.

>>87572262
he looks all the more childish, childlike yet kinda nightmarish at times, i think it works

In fairness, he is getting better. He was a lot worse right after the stroke.

Skarsgard only seems worse because he isnt the highlight of the film. In the new movie all the kids are excellent and the atmosphere and everything else is really outstanding. As a result Skarsgard doesnt really stand out. Tim Curry meanwhile was literally the only good part of the old one so thats why he is remembered so well.
Skarsgard is better in my opinion but he comparatively wasnt as good in his own film as Curry was in his.

No, he'll always be the reason you and people of a similar age have coulrophobia. It's all about the timing of the miniseries' release, it was Baby's First Horror for a lot of people because it aired on cable.

The new one will inspire fear just like the old, but for this generation or whatever you'd call it. Either way, fear of clowns isn't going anywhere anytime soon, 'cause fuck clowns man.

>>87577723
yeah, Tim was playing a creepy dude, while Bill was portraying a creature trying to imitate a human, dropping its mask when necessary, such as when Georgie starting laughing, showing utter hatred for kids, or when It was hurt in Neibolt house, started to move erratically and unnaturaly, getting the fuck out of there

You're absolutely right, Curry's Pennywise is the only memorable thing of the 1990 TV movie hence why people remember it as a super deep psychological performance when it was none of that.
Curry was good as Pennywise but he was a evil clown and nothing more.

That was a pretty neat allusion to Its true physical form.

Actually that's a great point. Curry stands out because holy fuck everything else, especially the adult parts, was awful. Skarsgard gives a great performance alongside a bunch of other great performances.

He had some great lines though. It was real enough for Georgie.

I absolutely loved the movement of Pennywise is this movie, from the refrigerator part to how he propped up like a marionette during the final battle.

Skarsgard reminded me a ton of roles played by Doug Jones with the contortions. He did a great job portraying how Pennywise was simply an avatar of the true creature with a vague understanding of how clowns act.

I never knew. Say what you will about King, that's a great horror idea. There's nothing more terrifying than uncovering repressed memories. Realizing with slow horror the abnormality of your spotty childhood with neglectful and sexual things you'd forgotten about is as bad as it comes because you can't just turn it off .

I mean, it's really not that subtle in the book. For what it's worth I thought the Tim Curry version did a great job by focusing on that whole aspect instead of just being a jumpscare thing, hopefully the remake actually recognises that IT was scary because it's a demon that embodies the victim's inner fears, instead of just going "lol, iconic clown killer, lets make a slasher film"

as a pleb scum that has neither read the original book nor watched the original series, I thought this movie made very clear the connection between IT and each of the kids own traumas

except for the jewish boy, I didn't see what exactly the creepy painting symbolized for him. I just assumed it was a painting he personally hated for being creepy as fuck while his family didn't mind it.

>>87579160
Not an argument

>>87579161
>except for the jewish boy, I didn't see what exactly the creepy painting symbolized for him
Just spitballing here, but I thought it tied into his anxiety over fucking up his jew ceremony reading. The painting was in his dad's office, and he's the rabbi who was chewing him out.

Thing was plenty creepy though.

I loved this scene so much.

1. They showed actually following through on his namesake
2. The motion tracking on his face made the weight of the dance seem a lot heavier
3. The progression of his expression made the whole moment unnerving.

>>87574346
I think you are thinking of the burning hands of Mike's parents. Those are the same hands he saw trying to get out of the burning door of the meat shop.

>>87579408
I just thought it was neat how he's just randomly dancing and then actually does something scary by opening up his face and showing Beverly the deadlights.

Another thing I really loved in hindsight is how his last word before descending down the hole is "fear" - in the book It feels fear for the first time when the Losers defeat It, and It doesn't know how to deal with it. They captured that well here.

New 'it' was creepy as fuck instead of being more silly like the original.

Creepiest shit was when he took the kids brother at the start of the film.

>his facial expressions
>the way his voice constantly changed
>that serious expression the money he stopped laughing

All top tier horror shit!

Loved the scene where he poped out the fridge and started walking towards the kid with the broken arm too.

Not surprised they split the film into 2 parts cause a four hour movie is to long for the short attention spans of the average person in today's age.

New one is obviously superior and there is a reason why everyone called the old flick, the Tim Curry It movie or the one with Tim Curry.

Nothing about that flick is really great besides Curry. The kids were okay but the second part was absolutely trash

Not enough jump scares

>>87569599

I think Curry's bright, eye-catching outfit worked out better than Skarsgard and his grim and gritty design. Seeing this flamboyantly colorful clown appear in the dim and drab setting of Derry gave him a surreal aspect whereas the 2017's IT tended to blend in with his surroundings. There might be an advantage to this but considering the tone of the movie and the nature of the monster, I'd still have gone with a more eye-catching design.

>>87569599

>>87580053
He doesn't care

I watched Tim Curry's IT today to see what all the fuss was about. He was literally the only good thing about the series, and I was never really all that intimidated by him. Skarsgaard seemed more like a multidimensional alien being

>>87580262
did you jerk your little dick off at the end?

>>87580097
>grim and gritty design

>>87580218

This is a case where it actually makes sense though. The book is too big to condense the whole story into one film.

>>87580218
The book is a thousand fucking pages long.

>>87580309
Nah, I only jerked off at the part where the psycho kid and the bully masturbated each other

>>87580218
>adapting a 1000+ page book split between two time periods as one 2 hr and a half movie

Are you retarded?

What was that with the Godzilla mouth at the end?

That was gay as fuck

I expect that in the next movie Pennywise will talk and joke a lot more. In the book when he's going after the kids, he's trying to kill and eat them. It's only after they beat him that he becomes a lot more talkative because he can't just go after them like regular prey anymore.

Another thing to think about is this:
Tim Curry is Jack Nicholson
Bill Skarsgard is Heath Ledger. Now let's just hope he lives longer.

>>87580446
>Godzilla mouth
hwat

>>87569599
bill's violent body shakes were only scary so many times
I've also never really found the mouth opening wider than normal actually scary
all the 1-on-1 spooks with Pennywise and the kids for the first half of the movie were pretty good, though

>>87580471

They all float down here and you will too

How did they de-age Amy Adams?

>>87580356
There's a few things the Skarsgard interpretation captures better than Curry's. For starters, Pennywise is ageless. He takes the form of a young acrobatic circus clown, and an old one too. Although in the book he updates his appearance to seem more modern, I kinda like the timeless quality of his suit, which color-wise is much closer to the book.

And Skarsgard is a lanky motherfucker who stands 6'5" so he beats pudgy ol' Tim in the intimidation factor. This also allows for more physical acting, which plays up the creepy nonhuman aspect of Pennywise.

Both in the same scene.

They seemed like 2 totally different characters. Hard to compare them. I thought Tim clown was a little more creepy because he seemed less like a shapeshifting monster and more like a deranged clown. I liked the new pennywise too though because he was a little more fun. Can't really compare them desu.

>>87582875
technology and budget doesn't affect how someone acts

Old Pennywise I think evokes the core idea of a killer clown, the character is based on Gacy after all. New Pennywise fits more though with the idea of some cosmic horror simply masquerading as a clown.

You're right, anybody can do a quick photoshop, but animating something to be consistently creepy is a whole different story that can't be captured in a tiny picture. If it's so easy then go do it faggot

>>87583488
He just looks goofy though.

I'm going to say it again. Both performances are good because they accomplish different things.

Curry was good at playing a clown. He was loud, charismatic and genuinely entertaining to watch. His makeup was unsettling and it made it even creepier when he would just fucking snap. The scene where he's in the album dancing down the street then gets up in their faces and starts screaming about killing them is 10/10

Skarsgard's performance felt more like a monster pretending to be a clown, apposed to just a clown. His awkward movements, speech patterns and the whole thing with his lazy eye nailed the whole uneasy feeling you should be getting from this thing. The part where he's talking to Georgie in the grate and Georgie has to finish his sentence about the popcorn made it, at least to me, feel like this monster was just making shit up as he went and was only a clown because it was something kids could recognize

His body language and horrific contortion made it seem like this was a monster that was just wearing a clown like suit of skin.

Skarsgard

>>87574399
>In the new movie all the kids are excellent
(You)
They are shit
most of them have little to no development
>Fat kid is a cuck
>Black kid was unnecessary
>Jew kid did nothing
After these kids were introduced and established as part of the group, they didn't change at all. The others had a bit more character, but not much.

>>87578209
God this movie looks "not scary at all"

Tim curry's. New movie is just LOUD jumpscares and its fucking shit.

>>87569599

Both did good in their own respects. Tim was funnier and had more charm and campiness to him, Bill was more creepy and unsettling and ended up being scarier.

The fact that Bill has a lazy left eye let them really run with how unsettling and uncanny valley Pennywise could look.

>>87583967
This. It's Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger all over again.

>>87584244
>Jack Nicholson is a terrible Joker because he can't actually act, it's all just Jack being Jack the whole time
>Ledger is great because he was a true actor who actually transforms and gets into the role.

I agree, this analogy is pretty much perfect for IT.

>>87583453
That got me to jump, the scene where it abruptly cuts to IT chewing on an arm was also unsettling in how quiet it was compared to all the other loud jumpscare moments.

>>87569599
Tim's Pennywise > Bill's Pennywise

HOWEVER

It (2017) > It (1990)

>>87584386
During the rock fight? that was pretty uncomfortable yeah, it just shows IT sitting in the bushes laughing and eating children while the characters have this fight. Really gave off this sense that he was omnipotent

>>87580097

The new outfit was actually taking the description from the book. The book described it as a silver clown suit with orange pom pom buttons. That's what they went with and they gave it a more old fashioned look.

Skarsgard did a better impression of what IT actually is. IT isn't a clown, but a demonic intelligence vaster than the entire universe that is trying to -mimic- the concept of a clown, but can't get it -quite- right. This is most shown in the Basement scene after It fails to capture Billy. It literally drags It's Pennywise body back into the shadows as how one would drag a puppet.

Curry is Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Skarsgard is IT masquerading as Pennywise.

no, a lot of people have pointed it out as something they used effectively to make Pennywise more creepy.

I actually laughed and had to cover my mouth while my mates were getting spooked to not ruin the mood while watching the new movie in theaters。Anyone else feel the special effects were extremely lackluster? In particular that scene where Pennywise chomps Georgie's arm off the face Pennywise makes was so comical I have to question if the intention here was to recapture Tim's original performance. Seriously, that ADR effect when Georgie gets pulled in and he screams billy had me gasping for air. Overall if they were intending to make this a comedy it far surpasses the original because it never winks at the audience reminding everyone it's all a joke.
